SBE065 - Scott Oldford - How to Take Advantage of Opportunities even if you think you’re not ready and Build An Extraordinary Business

Small Business Elevation

Show Notes

It was July 2013, and Scott was 21 and crying in his car…

He just used his last gas card, after three failed companies and losing every dime he had and going HUNDREDS of thousands of dollars in debt.

He’d had just about enough and that’s the moment it all changed for him.

Fast forward just 14 months later and he built a company that did nearly $1 million in revenue.

But as we all know, money isn’t everything. True Purpose is what he desired.

Couple of quick facts:

He’s gluten-free, eats the same thing every day and only has 2 pairs of jeans and 3 different shirts. Keeping it simple.

In 2014 he hosted two #1 podcasts, launched a book called Connections that Count (that hit #1) and built an email list from 2,600 to 42,000 in less than 16 months. Funny what a bit of determination can do, right?
